Re: control panel_window manager selection cannot edit, greyed out

In article <7n22dn$kkd$1@topsy.kiva.net> you write:

These are "system" entries bundled with control-center. They are
defaults - you cannot edit or delete them. If you want, you can make
your own entry containing the same data and manipulate that. I do that
to run Windowmaker without the clip.

What are you wanting to have saved that is not getting saved? The
gnome-session session manager should be able to restore any
applications that do proper session management, while WindowMaker will
remember its own theme and style settings. To have gnome-session
restore your apps you need to either select "Save Current Setup" in
the Logout dialog, or activate "Automatically Save Changes" in the
Control Center/Session Management capplet.

If you do this, be sure to turn off WindowMaker's "Save Session"
option. WindowMaker implements its own session management facilities,
but trying to use those and gnome-session at the same time can be
troublesome.
